No. Much of the British and American elite (especially those not of the intellectual class), was still absolutely opposed to communism (Operation Unthinkable), they had supported the USSR with enormous amounts of war material, because they prefered Communism taking over large parts of Europe over Fascism doing the same.
(WW2 nominally started over the German/Soviet invasion of Poland)
On the other hand the british and american intellectual class saw the USSR as worthy of emulation. They wanted a Stalinist regime in Britain/America.
